Praise for Twice as Dead

“Turtledove admirably adheres to the noir aesthetic with his street-level focus on the resilience and resistance of society’s outcasts. Readers waiting for Walter Mosley's next hard-boiled novel will fill the time nicely with this sympathetic but unsentimental tale of the ghostly underclass.”—Publishers Weekly

NetGalley Reviews for Twice as Dead

"I loved this book. The story is well-told and well-paced; it was difficult to put the book down. The characters and world-building are excellent and there are many passages so well-written that I would read them over several times. I found the noir attitude compelling but I did have to look up some words. Overall this is a great read and I look forward to more books in the series." 5 Stars—Stephen Goldberg, Reviewer via NetGalley

"This was a fantastic job in the genre and had that feel that I was looking for, it was a strong opening chapter in the City of Shadows series. The characters were everything that was needed in this universe and worked with the plot of the book. I was invested in what was happening and am excited for more. Harry Turtledove wrote this perfectly and everything worked overall." 5 Stars—Kathryn McLeer, Reviewer via NetGalley

"This is the start of a new series from Harry Turtledove. It’s an interesting departure from the alternate history he’s written a lot of, and although it starts a series it works well as a stand alone" 4 Stars-—Lorriane Cormack, reviewer via NetGalley

"Will definitely be looking at more books from Mr. Turltedove." 5 Stars—Kathryn McLeer reviewer via NetGalley

"The author’s writing, buildup, and plotting is great, even though there were a couple things that weren’t a personal preference, not a problem with the book. His way of immersing the reader in the timeframe is exceptional without losing sight of the characters and what’s happening." 4 Stars—Penny Noble, Reviewer via NetGalley

"The tone has echoes of Lovecraft Country or LA Confidential with supernaturals. Though the plot progresses slowly at first, the ending had several Call of Cthulhu adventure-style boss battles and revelations." 5 Stars —Scott Rhine, Reviewer from NetGalley

Goodreads Review:
"Twice as Dead is a riveting journey into a world where the supernatural and the human realm intersect in shadowy corners."

Praise for Harry Turtledove and previous works:

“[A] colossal and brilliant saga”—Publishers Weekly on The Victorious Opposition

“Turtledove is the standard-bearer for alternate history.”—USA Today

“Turtledove never tires of exploring the paths not taken, bringing to his storytelling a prodigious knowledge of his subject and a profound understanding of human sensibilities and motivations.”—Library Journal

“Powerful . . . demonstrates Turtledove’s continuing mastery of historical fiction . . . almost impossible to praise too highly.”–Booklist on  American Empire: The Victorious Opposition

“Nobody plays the what-if game of alternative history better than Turtledove.”—Publishers Weekly on American Empire: Blood & Iron

Harry Turtledove has spent forty years dismantling reality to see why the wheels come off. Hugo and Sidewise Awards fill his mantle because he breaks facts for a living. Most people call him the Master of Alternate History. That title is just a polite way of saying he is the only man who can make speculative dread feel like a peer-reviewed paper. Now he is applying that same grit to the supernatural. Los Angeles is full of vampires and gremlins. Turtledove lives in the San Fernando Valley and treats these monsters like historical inevitabilities. Ancient demons and the ghosts of history both smell like old paper. Just shadows and copper. This is a pivot by a man who already knows where the bodies are buried.
